I've Got A Fever...And The Only Prescription Is More Beiber.

Is it just me or is Justin Beiber slowly morphing into the
next Britney Spears? Between his yo-yoing relationship with Selena, his awkward
acceptance speeches at the AMAs, throwing up on stage during a concert…
multiple times… and smacking a paparazzo, I fear his downward spiral has
commenced.

But as much as I’m entertained by his latest shenanigans, I
moreso feel bad for the kid. He’s recently become vocal about how hard it is
growing up in the public spotlight. Sure, the millions of dollars you come home
to every night must make it easier, but I’m sure it’s still not fun all the
time.

We all remember the day we realized Britney had gone of the
deep end. At first it was the random marriage… then the random divorce… then
the shaving of the head. It all sort of blends together at this point. I
remember watching an MTV special on her after the kids and the head shave… the
cameras followed her around every day and revealed how annoying being a celebrity
really is. I really don’t blame her for feeling so crazy, I’m sure I would too.

Speaking of big crazies… last night I watched Lindsay Lohan
on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The girl is literally insane. Yet there is
one common thread that seems to tie these three together: childhood celebrity.
If I ever have a kid that wants to be famous, I’m going to at least make them
wait until they’re old enough to experience a normal childhood. We don’t need
any more Britneys in this world.

And my advice for Beibs… lay low for a while. The spotlight
will always be there once your voice has finally changed and you’ve experienced
a normal teenage life.
